at the tip, while in concinnus it is truncate, and in numerous 

 other characters. 



This species has ne^'er been reported from the United 

 States, but since the fauna and conditions of the country in 

 the southern part of Arizona are very similar to those of Pinos 

 Altos, Mexico, from where the species was originally des- 

 cribed, it is not surprising that it should be found in our fauna. 

 The specimens were sent to Mr. Gilbert Arrow, who has 

 kindly compared them with the type in the collection of the 

 British Museum, and has returned them with the following 

 remarks : 



"The male is like A. restrictus, except that the median 

 fovea of the thorax is less broad behind in the unique type. 

 Without examining a series of specimens I cannot tell whether 

 this is of importance." 



In examining a series of specimens of some of our other 

 species which have the thorax deeply impressed, this charac- 

 ter was found to vary considerably in the different specimens, 

 so it is possible that the same condition will be found in res- 

 trictus.
